    I had the pleasure of knowing a wonderful lesbian pornographer (Pendra) in Seattle who presented a very interesting demo/lecture on porn that explored the range of sexuality that could and is shown in porn. She also showed a tiny bit of the usual dreck so that the difference was made very apparent.

    As I once noted during a discussion on porn, people in caves drew "dirty" pictures: the desire to express sexuality is fairly widespread - women must control some of the ways and means of producing those images so that they can reflect something other than a stunted 15yo boy's view of sexuality.
